"I didnt feel right then... And i stink and i havent eatten properly in awhile.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Zandara runs a hand roughly through her hair. "I was this '' close. THIS close. Boss is gonna kill me." She says, bemoaning her fate. That's when she casts a glance up at the Arcane Eye, announcing the Rank 5 Match-up. "... WHOA! WHOAWHOAWHOA! Are they -- they are!" She gasps and starts rubbing her hands together gleefully. "Oh this is gonna be soooo good! I.. oh man. Ser Leonard the third! Get ready to round up some gamblers." The Lion yawns and sets out with Zandara on his back. Every now and then, when one of the smaller races are looking leery at the idea of gambling, the Lion gives them either a long hard look, and seems to 'smile' smugly. That's when Zandara pipes in with. "You're right, Ser Leonard. He's an even bigger ***** cat than you."
Persuasion: 4 if at advantage from Lion Buddy's help: 3 .
For Those Wanting to Bet On the Level 5 Match:
Finding some measure of stability, the level 5 match will have the same set-up as the level 6 match. Bets will still remain open until the conditions for 1st to Fall section have been met. 1st Blood has been temporarily disabled due to nature of match. Variable betting has been temporarily restructured, as well as the minimum stake being at least 10 gp, and maximum set to 100gp. She's also changed up the format to make it easier to read. (Stake x Odds = Payout(-Minus Stake, though it is returned as part of payout)) S/N Rulings:
For this match, bets will remain open until someone falls.
A gambler can bet on multiple categories, but only once per.
And to clarify, methods of incapacitation that do not involve a takedown (ie. Competitor being reduced to 0 hp) only qualifies as a 1st to fall IF said competitor REMAINS incapacitated until the match ends.
If multiple competitors are rendered incapacitated at the same time via the above method, and remain that way until the end of the match, the stake is considered a loss. In such an event, all proceeds is divided and funneled back into the arena to support future matches (or so she says at least)
If vig/commission is not paid upfront, it will be taken out of the winnings.
Competitors are allowed to place a bet either personally or by a proxy. HOWEVER, they are restricted to placing said bet upon their team's victory or personally achieving 1st Blood.
In the event of a draw (not sure if that's even possible), bets will be refunded (at cost to MD) in regards to any placed on a final winning team.
Those that don't understand the format change are free to ask for clarification.
1st to Fall: 3.5 Parabolus, the Other Space-Elf (not to be confused with the Gith) 3.0 Crow, the Unending Fury 2.8 Keygella, the Heart of the Mountain 2.5 Errich, the Booze Hound of a 1,000 fist 2.0 Polly Wanna Stab You Good 1.5 Calign the Crusher
Wining Team: 1.5 Team Rookies (Parabolus, Crow, Keygella, Errich) 3.0 Team Big Leagues (Calign, Polly)

Swigg stumbles out of a shadow wearing nothing but a towel and smelling of incense. He places a bet with Zandara, "100 gp on the Were-Turtle and Sneaky-Bird please." In the shadows over his shoulder anyone looking can see naked figures dancing on a grassy hilltop reaching up to an impossibly full moon. The Goblin salutes and swaggers back into the darkness like he was never there.
Marvarax smiles back and Harmond and walks over to Sora “hay, Sora, would you, maybe wanna go somewhere, or do like a nature walk, you know go through the forest, look at wild life” Sora smiles at Marvarax and grabs him around the arm “that sounds like a wonderful idea” As the two head out Marvarax turns back Harmond with a big smile and winks before leaving
(No worries. Wages been accepted Brian. Though after this round of bets, it may be a long while before betting is re-opened on the Purple Worm's end. At least until she set aside her pride again, and goes looking for a partner to help mitigate the losses... because MAN that was a painful dip into her savings)

"Mister? Excuse m--oh... Aren't you a cute little thing."Zalandra says looking down to Nylah. "And way to call out someone lackings." The Half-Drow teenager mutters a she crosses her arms a cross her chest before with a tight smile she continues quickly on. "If you're meaning the Rank 4 matches, I'm... oh geeze. I hate to break it to you, sweet thing. But no. Way things are right now, boss'll probably have my as-mma-butt. She have my butt if I did any more."She says, and then shakes her head and sighs in exasperation. "Keep trying to get her to focus on finding someone that might be willing to cover the losses, but she just plain too stubborn sometimes."
Rothander walk into up to the Drow "Ill cover the little one bet on ya end if she wins. Would like ta make a financial donation to your boss." Looking at the Nyla "Well hello there little one. My name Rothander. Whats ya name little miss?"
After the conversation with Nara. Morthos will go to his room clean himself up take some sort of bath. Put back on his cloak and equip his weaponry and he will continually mutter to himself: "dont lose it.. dont lose it...." Heading off into the Coliseum.
(Doh! Rank 4 not 5. Just made the corrections. But anywho~)
Zalandra starts rubbing her bottom lip in thought for a few moments. During that time Rothander and Nylah could have their exchange before pipes up again. "Oh really now. You didn't take a fall just to set this sorta thing up... did you?"She asks, raising a bushy brow to Rothander. She giggles a second later, and curtly waves off any attempts at self-defense. "I'm joking! I'm joking. Tough Break though. She was really rooting for you two. Said if things had gone well, well... that's neither here nor there. If you're willing to do that for at least this match, I can give you what I started to get going. Even see about cutting you in on the profits too. In fact... oh, screw Bashaba. Mines as well make the rounds while I'm at it. Give me a bit to and I'll get back to you. Sir Leonardo. Take note!"
The Lion raises a paw and pops a single claw out. "That was a joke too! Ugh!"
